A concentrated blast of roguelike shooter action - Impaler Quick Review
PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
You should probably play this, as long as you’re a fan of hardcore roguelike/shooter hybrids and don’t mind a game that’s light on content (but cheap). With its blazing fast pace and super old-school visuals, Impaler reminded me of Devil Daggers, another great wave-based arena shooter. Impaler’s frenetic mechanics only go so deep, but it works perfectly as a game I played a few quick rounds of during a break from work or to get my brain working in the morning.

I've watched the gameplay. It has a very spooky atmosphere with puzzle challenge.
However I have no appetite for 8 bit music which this game did. So I will say, that's see.
